Ingrid, I meant, thought I said June was the last time I personally spoke to her. I know she has been on since then. I was just making sure nothing was wrong with her. I'm used to her being here more, I guess. But I emailed her, or I may have sent her a message on here, never heard anything back, so then emailed, heard nothing back, so tried another email. So I looked up her name and it said no recent activity on here, so was making sure she was ok. But it was a month between emails, at the very least. I think she said she was a teacher, so she could be busy with back to school and her daughter. But was just worried, I didnt know if anyo6else had spoken with her lately, so thought I would ask. Kristine, I knew Carol from Canada was on the other forum. Thank you though!

Karen, I love your idea. I would request that it be more along the lines of money than plants, please? I am fortunate to live in an area without Chilli Thrips, but they will eventually arrive. They are creeping northward. I have observed them now in many areas of the San Fernando, Simi and Santa Clarita Valleys and found them in public plantings of Iceberg along "The BLVD" in Lancaster this past Friday. Let's please limit plant movement from infected areas into uninfected ones.

I haven't been here for quite a while, myself. I've looked through older posts for Mike & haven't seen anything. Has anyone heard from him? Thanks, Betty Dotson

I've been thinking about you, Anglophilia, and wondering if you were okay. I'm so sorry to hear you're not doing well. Prayers for remission and better health. Hope you feel better very soon.
